Noble Lady

Chapter 150 Giving away wine

Did she not do her best to take care of her mother-in-law? Or did she not do her best to take care of He Minzhi?

How could someone take advantage of others and think it's their due, as if the whole world owes her something?

Xue Chenyu clenched her handkerchief tightly, and as her blood boiled, she tried to convince herself that there was no point in arguing with someone like her.

"Old Madam, put yourself in my shoes. Before you say I don't treat you as family, have you ever treated me as one?"

"Or, in your eyes, am I just a money bag you married in the name of He Minzhi? I deserve to give all my dowry to your family. That's what it means to be dedicated and devoted."

"You are presumptuous!"

"Well, I was presumptuous. Madam, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger. Medicine is very expensive." Xue Chenyu was fearless.

Liu patted her chest and took a deep breath, then pointed at the door and shouted, "Get out of here!"

"I'll definitely leave when Madam Huang comes back." Xue Chenyu said calmly, "I can't just leave the old lady alone. If the word 'filial piety' gets out, it'll crush me to death."

Camellia stood silently by the wall, trying to make her presence feel lower and lower.

“…” Liu was furious, but she couldn’t argue with her, so she simply went to bed and turned her back, no longer looking at Xue Chenyu.

But Xue Chenyu couldn't leave at this time.

So, after Huang Mama sent He Ruyi back and came back, she said she wanted to go back to count the dowry. She politely bowed to Liu's back, and then slowly left with Yuzhu.

After Xue Chenyu left, Liu suddenly sat up, stared at the door and spat fiercely!

"Bah! What do you mean by Marquis Xue's eldest daughter? What do you mean by the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family? She's just a blind thing. I'm willing to let Dalang marry her. She's so lucky!"

Mother Huang waited until she finished scolding her before stepping forward and saying, "Old Madam, the second young lady's wedding is coming up soon. You must take good care of yourself."

After Liu finished cursing harshly, she finally got rid of her anger.

"I see. When you sent Ruyi back just now, did she make a scene?"

"The things that the second young lady had taken from the Madam's yard were all taken back by that Madam Li. The young lady reacted quite strongly."

"But Madam Li was so powerful that the Second Young Lady didn't dare to do anything. This old servant also comforted the Second Young Lady for a while, and she should be feeling better now."

To be honest, Liu has always looked down on her daughter He Ruyi, who is short-sighted.

Just because he had an affair with a man before getting married and got pregnant, she wished she didn't have this daughter who brought shame to the family.

Fortunately, she was lucky and found a man named Cui.

"Have someone keep an eye on her, don't let her do anything extreme, and don't let her have a miscarriage." After all, the child in her belly is also the flesh and blood of the Cui family.

Even if it's not glorious, we are still members of the Cui family.

"Yes, old lady." Mother Huang agreed to everything Liu said.

……

However, He Ruyi threw a tantrum in the room in front of Mother Li.

Her room was even more extravagant than Liu's. In addition to the dowry of Xue Chenyu that she took from Furongju, there was also the new furniture that Xue Chenyu had made for her.

When Mother Li took the things herself, she jumped up and down to object, but Mother Li only said one sentence to make her behave herself.

"Miss He Er, you have to think carefully. Do you want me to take away my daughter's dowry, or do you want me to take away everything my daughter gave me in this room? You choose one."

He Ruyi's face was distorted with anger, but he didn't dare to gamble.

"Take it, take it. If you don't take it, my surname is not He!" He Ruyi gritted his teeth.

In the end, Mother Li even did not let go of the things in He Minzhi's study.

All the items on the dowry list were swept away.

It can be said that it has the momentum of sweeping away everything in its path.

Even if He Ruyi was furious, it would be of no use. In the end, she simply covered herself with the quilt and cried while cursing.

……

Xue Chenyu asked Qiniang and Dongyue to sort out the dowry that was moved back from Liu, He Ruyi and He Minzhi, and find an opportunity to sell it.

She really didn't want to use the things they had used again. The thought of it made her physically uncomfortable.

Convert it into silver and buy whatever you want.

Fortunately, the things they took away from her dowry at that time were not particularly valuable. Of course, for the He family, they were indeed very valuable.

Because of He Ruyi's dowry, Ji Minrou was scolded by He Minzhi again.

She also felt aggrieved. It was clearly Liu who asked her to say those words in front of Xue Chenyu, but why did her cousin only talk about her?

Moreover, cousin Ruyi's dowry really needs to be prepared quickly. The wedding date is so close, but they don't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Of course, she also felt that she now had a large sum of money in her hands and the power of housekeeper, so she got angry and turned around and left the study.

He Minzhi was already feeling annoyed, and when he saw her throwing a tantrum, he also got angry.

"Sir, my cousin has left in anger." Shi Tou asked tentatively uncertainly.

He Minzhi was furious and blurted out, "She can only be angry about what she wants. I'm also angry. She can't even handle such a small matter. I don't know what she does at home all day."

Shi Tou didn't dare to respond.

The same goes for cousin Rouer. Isn’t she usually the most considerate and understanding?

Instead of trying to find a way to help him solve his problems, she came to him and accused her mother of favoritism. How could that be?

He Minzhi felt that He Ruyi's dowry was a problem and paced back and forth in frustration.

After a while, I simply asked Shitou to get some wine.

Dowry, dowry, he didn't expect that he would have to worry about such things now. He is going to enter the cabinet and become a prime minister, how could he be hindered by such trivial matters?

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the study door.

He Minzhi opened the door and saw a maid standing at the door holding wine and snacks. She was wearing a brand new pink dress and a silver hairpin on her head.

It has been carefully decorated. Although it is not beautiful, it is unique.

It was a young face, tender and rosy, which was very attractive to look at.

"Sir, my cousin asked me to bring you some wine." Xiaocao half raised her eyes to look at him, then bit her lip and lowered her head embarrassedly.

He Minzhi couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and reached out to pull the person into the study.

As the sweet wine went down his throat, accompanied by delicious side dishes, He Minzhi became more and more drunk, not realizing that he had drunk too much.

The grass in front of me became more and more charming.

She was pouring wine when He Minzhi suddenly put his arm around her waist.

The world was spinning, and He Minzhi had already pushed him onto the couch.

"S-Sir..."

"Xiao Cao, I remember you used to serve in the study as well."

The smell of alcohol sprayed on Xiaocao's face. She was too embarrassed to hide and could only say in a trembling voice, "...Yes, sir. But the cousin came back, so the old lady asked Xiaocao to go back and serve her."

"Why didn't I think you were pretty before?" As he said that, he buried his head in Xiaocao's arms.

Xiao Cao panicked and dodged desperately, "Sir, no... The old lady would beat me to death if she knew."

"Nonsense, mother loves me the most. If you become my love, you will naturally become my concubine."

Xiaocao seemed to have not expected such a saying and was stunned.

He Minzhi, who was drunk, didn't care about these things. He felt a severe pain somewhere in his body. Taking advantage of Xiaocao's distraction, he pressed her under him and did whatever he wanted to her.

Another charming voice came from the study.
